Mission Statement

The story begins with an obedient servant’s heart. Some of us are called to serve locally while others feel led to serve internationally. And that is exactly what founder, Michelle Robinette, did in 1997 when she went on a mission trip to Montego Bay, Jamaica. Little did she know the trip would change her life forever. She spent time visiting children at a local orphanage and soon felt led the following year not only to care for hurting children on the island, but desired to start a new place where more kids could call “home”. To provide a safe, loving and Christ-centered environment where each child could grow physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. To care for the orphans, the hurting, the helpless. Give them hope and show them an unconditional love . . . because He first loved us.

About This Cause

The Robin's Nest mission provides the pathway for every decision and action of the organization: “To provide a nurturing, loving, safe, Christ-centered atmosphere in which all children will grow at their own speed - physically, mentally, and spiritually - so they may develop their own individual gifts, talents, and abilities and become the person whom God intended.” The Robin’s Nest’s vision is comprised of three components: safe environment, education and Christian up-bringing. Safe Environment: Many of the children that come to the Nest are not accustomed to 3 meals a day, clean clothes, daily baths, a safe place to sleep, and unconditional love . . . but these “basic needs” are consistent essentials given to the children every day. Education: Robin’s Nest knows that education is key in preparing the next generation. A pre-school was built to serve the Nest kids as well as the surrounding community. In addition, year-round interns and volunteers lead a three-year old class as well as privately teach a handful of older children in the dedicated homeschool classroom. Christian Upbringing: Jesus said “let the little children come” to Him, and Robin’s Nest is dedicated to doing just that . . . Leading kids to Him (Matthew 19:14) and growing them into boys and girls that love God and each other. Our desire is for the children to know their heavenly Father’s unfailing and unconditional love, forgiveness and healing.
